About

Hoping that Google cannot answer all questions, OHT explores reality and its representation without formal, disciplinary and emotional limitations.

Established in 2008 by Filippo Andreatta, OHT has achieved national and international collaborations such as Haydn Foundation, NYC Artists’ Salon (USA), Roma Europa festival, CRT Teatro dell’Arte Triennale Milan (IT), the Josef and Anni Albers Foundation (USA), Whitechapel Gallery London (UK), Teatro della Tosse Genova, Italian Cultural Institute of Vienna (AT), MAXXI museum of the arts of the XXI century Rome (IT), among the others. Finally, Centrale Fies and MART Museum of modern and contemporary art, have frequently been partners of various projects, either for productions or for premieres.

OHT has been honoured with awards for artistic excellence, including Nuove Sensibilità for young theatre directors (2008), Movin’Up award for young artists (2016 and 2017) and OPER.A 20.21 Fringe (2017).

press quote

“One of the most interesting company on the new indie scene” > la Rebubblica

“OHT was born to actualise what is abstract” > Icon Design

“A talented Italian company” > SKY arte

“It opens your mind to the deeper meaning of democracy” > l’Adige

“Not a theatre of cruelty but of tenderness and bad luck, elements that are only apparently incompatible, but instead are linked together between carnival party tights, flares that pointlessly light the darkness, fortune biscuits in a Chinese dive next door, sidewalks where they also smoke joints by themselves. Everyone has their one, everyone has their failure. In its minute pride, the Minuta Retrospettiva [by OHT] let the theatre get back to basics, as a place dedicated to the existential resistance. “> Il Fatto Quotidiano

“a clear understanding is not expected, but wittiness and intelligence cannot be questioned.” > la Rebubblica

“Well thought out and cultured, to watch it in order to support us and to worry less about ourselves, or at least doing it ironically.” > zero.eu
